Abstract
This work describes an ultrafast and sustainable approach for the covalent functionalization of cellulose paper using diazo compounds under catalyst-free conditions. The methodology requires ca. 10 min of reaction to attain a level of grafting in the range of 8–17% which allows for significant modification of the physical properties of the cellulosic material. As an application, the work emphasizes the preparation of plastic- and fluorine-free hydrophobic cellulose paper. The grafting of hydrophobic diazo compounds based on cholesterol, an inexpensive, biosourced, abundant, and nontoxic compound, resulted in a material with excellent hydrophobicity and strong oleophobicity, making it suitable for applications in food packaging and textiles as an alternative to plastic and fluorine solutions.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Polymer Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of engineering, chemistry, physics, and biology relevant to applications of polymers.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates fundamental knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, polymer science and chemistry into important polymer applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses relationships among structure, processing, morphology, chemistry, properties, and function as well as work that provide insights into mechanisms critical to the performance of the polymer for applications.
